The cloud,built in Ethiopia
ክላዉድ፣ በኢትዮጵያ የተገነባ።
Servers, apps, managed databases, object storage, domains and private networking, all hosted here for you and your local customers.
Top up with telebirr, bank transfer or card through Chapa.

Whatever you build with, it ships here.
Point AletCloud to a GitHub repo. It reads it, works out what it is, and fills in the build.
Read the framework guidesAletCloud builds Angular, React, Next.js, Vite, Svelte, Vue, Node, Python, Django, Flask, Spring Boot, PHP, Laravel, Go, Static.
Not on the list? Put a Dockerfile in the repo and it builds with that instead.
One wallet for all your services.
Start with a server or an app. Add the rest when need them.

Git push to deploy. Zero config for the common stacks, your Dockerfile for everything else. The first app is free.
How deploys workManaged databases
PostgreSQL, MySQL and MongoDB, pinned to the minor version you pick. Daily automated backups for 3 to 30 days. One free database per account with no expiry date.
Database plansObject storage
S3 compatible. Change the endpoint and the region, and the code you already wrote for AWS keeps working. Presigned URLs, access keys, versioning. Buckets run from 5 GB up to 100 GB.
Storage tiersAWS_ENDPOINT_URL=s3.aletcloud.com AWS_REGION=et-addis-1 aws s3 cp poster.jpg s3://t01-shop-media \
Domains
Register .com, .org, .net, .dev, .io and the rest in Birr, from the same wallet. Point one at an app or a server without opening a second DNS panel.
Search a domainPrivate networking
A WireGuard network per account. Add a device, then SSH a machine that has no public IP from a laptop anywhere, and keep every database off the open internet.

Business Email
Mailboxes at you@yourcompany.com, stored in Addis Ababa. Alet Mail in the browser, IMAP and SMTP for Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird and every phone, and the MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records generated for the domain. From 499 ETB a month.

Pay for what runs. Nothing else.
Every figure on this site is the most a month can cost. Underneath it AletCloud counts hourly and bills by the minute.
- By the minute
- A Pro server is 6.25 ETB an hour. Stop it at lunch and it stops costing you at lunch.
- A ceiling instead of an estimate
- That same server can never pass 4,500 ETB in a month. There is no overage line.
- Resize whenever
- Move a plan up or down and the new rate starts that minute.
One Pro server
6.25ETB an hour
- Nine until lunch 3 hours
- 18.75 ETB
- A long weekend 72 hours
- 450.00 ETB
- Left running all month hits the ceiling
- 4,500.00 ETB
Nothing that is not running appears on the bill.
A max database plan you spin up to test a migration and delete an hour later comes to about 2 ETB. That is the whole invoice for it.
Run an Ultra and the SMS is covered.
SMSEthiopia is bulk SMS and a send API for businesses here. Deploy an Ultra, a Max or a Ras VPS and your Starter Package is covered. Sign up, approve your sender-ID and the messages are on us.
Enough for one-time codes, delivery notices and a campaign, on the channel that reaches every phone in Ethiopia.
- A REST endpoint to send from
- Bulk sends to a list you upload
- Delivery figures on a live dashboard
- Alerts through a Telegram bot
- Customer support, any hour of the day

Your agent gets a console too.
AletCloud has an MCP server. Point Claude Code, Codex or Cursor at mcp.aletcloud.com/mcp with a personal access token, then let it build the stack while you read the log.
Around eighty tools, the same ones behind the console. Servers, databases, apps, buckets, domains, DNS and the wallet, each call running as whoever the token belongs to.
